Welcome

Exploring AI has been an adventure. It has been the best thinking partner I have had, but our relationship has not always been a positive one. I use conversational AI every day. Maintaining control and having confidence in its answers is an ongoing struggle, both for me and for every business I advise. Still, used correctly, it can be an incredibly powerful tool. I believe it will change almost every aspect of what we do.

Nobody knows the power of an individual agent, much less the power of a swarm of agents. My research documents agents that broke into another company’s servers, stole credentials, and published malicious code that real systems installed, all without anyone telling them to. The list keeps growing, and these are only the documented cases. My concern? The courts have not defined who is liable for that behavior, and AI is released as “use at your own risk.” Agents and conversational AI alike drift from their instructions, so anyone using AI must be exceptionally careful with what they allow it to do.

In my own work, AI shows up in my business, in programming, in writing, in the garden, and in the kitchen. It challenges my assumptions, shows me what I missed, and has let me get more done on my own than I could have without it. My goal is to help businesses understand the challenges and benefits of working with AI.
